Chapter 390 - Alessandro's Funeral

Tracey just found out that Alessandro is dead. It was like yesterday. She doesn't remember much but it seemed to be suicide when Wendy kidnapped him and force him to marry her. Her heart aches for both Keira and Alessandro. It was so sad but she wished that both of them were together. She couldn't stop crying even after the funeral. She could see from Uncle Alex that he was so heartbroken that she can't even leave him. 

"Trace," She turned around to see her husband. He hugged her and kissed her lips. "Hey, why are you crying?" He asked. 

"Alessandro is dead." She sighed and hugged him. 

"I'm sorry." Ian was a little confused but he comforted her anyway. 

"I'm glad that you are here." 

He rubbed her back and carefully led her away from the people. 

"Let's go home." He told her. 

"But, Uncle Alex." 

"Henry and Karmina will be here soon." He took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. "Stop crying now, Babe." 

He knelt in front of her and kissed her tummy. 

"Baby will be sad too." 

She sniffled and looked down at her handsome husband. He was blooming and yet she just noticed that he was tired from the flight. In the hall, Karmin and Henry arrived. They both quickly greeted Alex and comforted him. 

"See?" he smiled. "It was a last-minute flight. So, let's go home." 

She didn't say goodbye to Alex but she told her mother that they must leave. Tracey and Ian get into the sedan. She gasped seeing the boxes and looked up at him. 

"I bought everything you wanted."

"Thank you." 

He wrapped his arms around her protectively and placed his hand on her round tummy. 

"Don't be sad, okay?" 

Tracey has no idea that Ian knows everything. Somehow, Ian couldn't break that secret to her. But soon, he promised not to tell to anyone as only a few could know about that secret for everyone's safety. 

It takes an hour and a half to get into their very own mansion. Then, the maid and butler that was attending Tracey greeted them. He gave the boxes to them and helped his wife out of the car. 

"Would you please take it to our room?" He told the Butler who bowed at him. He held her purse and carefully escorted her inside. "What do you want, my love?" He asked softly. "Do you want to eat?" 

"Let's just go to our room. I will prepare your bath." 

"That's sweet." He grinned. "I am a big boy, momma." He kissed her cheeks.

No one could talk to Alex. The funeral was only for three days and they had to bury him since his body was decaying. They don't know how long it was but they found it in the water. It was said that they were kidnapped, Butler got killed and Wendy got killed but Alessandro drank poison to kill himself. This is one thing that Alex never thought that's going to happen. He was alone now. Without a grandchild… he's alone now and he wished that he would be dead sooner or later. 

"Let's go." Henry pulled him up. He let Henry drag him. His very own best friend. The man who stays with him during his dark times. He didn't ask where to go since Karmina followed them. 

Their car was already waiting outside and Henry pushed him in the back seat. 

"Where are we going?" Alex asked, looking confused. 

"Funeral's over," Henry grumbled as he held out his wife's hand to enter the sedan. 

He didn't ask further as they left the mansion that was meant for his son. But now that he's gone and his wife is gone, it will be useless. The company will be useless too. 

"Alright, I need you to gather yourself," Karmina told Alex. 

"How?" He asked as he looked out the window. 

"It is not the end of the world." 

"It is for me," Alex grumbled. "My son was the last life that I have. But he gave up everything…" 

"Oh, fuck." Henry sighed and reached his head. 

"Let's all calm down." Karmina looked at their driver. "Perhaps, could you drive a little faster?" 

"Yes, your majesty." The driver increased it and Karmina faced Alex. 

"Why do you have to go all the way here? You were busy." 

"Of course, it's our son-in-law!" Karmina exclaimed. "I am also frustrated but before that, you need to know something." 

"What?" He stared at the couple but they didn't add anything after what Karmina said. 

They arrived in the mansion of Rossie. In the living room, MJ was sitting on the sofa holding her baby while Harvey was busy taking out gifts that he bought for Dione. They were both laughing. Somehow, Alex felt envious. They entered the room and the security closed it after they entered. 

"Alright, now that we are here." Karmina approached MJ and kissed her temple. She didn't touch Dione since she hadn't sanitized her hand. "Hello, Princess." 

"Sit down." Henry gently pushed Alex on the sofa across MJ and Dione. Then, he went to the mini-bar and took out a bottle of red wine. He gave it to Alex. Somehow, Alex was confused as to why Henry would give him a red wine when he was mourning. 

"Okay, listen carefully." Henry sat beside Alex, on the right and placed his hand on the other side of Alex's shoulder. "Alessandro and Kiera aren't dead." 

"Don't piss me off." Alex swigged the glass of red wine to his mouth. 

"I am serious." Henry sighed and looked him in the eyes. "Keira is not dead, so is Alessandro." 

"But it is my son's body." 

"Yes," Henry said softly. "It was a clone. It was dead. It has no life. It was Alessandro's DNA." 

Alex stared at his friend, bewildered. He doesn't know how to react. 

"It's true," Harvey said as he took out the dress for Dione. "I was the one who took my sister away so she and her baby will be safe." 

Alex gaped and shook his head. 

"If what you said is true. I want to speak to him right now." 

Harvey took out his phone. It was a keypad phone with no GPS or anything. He dialed a certain number and gave it to Alex. He carefully placed it to his ear. 

"Hello? Bro, wassup?" 

He was stunned and he looked at Harvey who nodded his head. 

"Hello?" 

"Son?" 

"Uh, dad?" 

"Alessandro…" 

"Dad!" Alessandro exclaimed. "You are fine. How are you doing?" 

"You ass! You didn't tell me about this!" 

"Well," Alessandro stammered. "It was a secret and I have to keep Keira safe and our baby." 

"Baby's safe?" Alex asked hopefully. 

"Yes, I just said. We are currently having midnight snacks." 

"That's good. Can I talk to Keira since you are fine?" 

"Oh, okay. You are a savage dad. Wait a minute." 

Alex was smiling as he felt the thorns being pulled out. 

"Hi, Dad!" 

"Keira," Alex sighed and looked at Henry who grinned. "How are you doing, darling?" 

"Everything is perfect, dad. You don't have to worry. We are sorry that we stressed you and made you worried." 

"As long as you and Alessandro are fine, darling. So, what are you having?" 

"They make a burger, hash brown and fruity yogurt. Did you eat your dinner, dad? You can't skip a meal." 

"Yes, I will eat, Princess." 

Keira sighed. 

"I knew it. You have to eat, dad." She made it clear. 

"I will. I will. Enjoy your meal." 

"You too. Bye, dad." 

"Bye, Princess." He gave the phone back to Harvey. "Thank you." 

"Sure thing." Harvey proceeds on showing the dress to Dione. "Do you like it?" Harvey asked Dione. 

"Love, she's just twelve weeks old." 

"But, she needs to wear this. It is comfy and pretty." 

Alex admired the couple who had that very beautiful baby. 

"I will make a midnight snack," Karmina said. "Any requests?" 

"Right!" Henry stood. "Can I have tacos, my love?" 

"Sure," Karmina winked. 

"Should you relax first, mom?" Harvey asked her, worried that she might be tired. 

"I am not that tired of preparing food for everyone." Karmina left the room as Alex put away the wine glass. He sighed again, as he faced Henry. 

"Tell me that I am not dreaming." 

"You are dreaming," Henry said seriously. 

"Hit me." 

Henry tapped his cheeks. 

"You are dreaming, bro." 

Harvey rolled his eyes as he focused on his baby girl who was still awake in the middle of the night. He sat beside his wife and gently scooped Dione from MJ's arms.

"Mommy has to eat first before you eat. Okay, Princess?" 

Dione's beautiful brown eyes stared at him. 

"What? You don't like the dress? We could always buy a gun for you." 

She cooed and tried to say something. But she sounded like a kitten when she tried. They laughed at Dione as Harvey continued to speak to her. 

"If you don't want to play dollhouse we could always play ninja." Dione looked happy with whatever Harvey told her. "I think you like it better. Daddy and you." He kissed her forehead. 

"I bet Kal would love having her around and cooking something for her," Harvey told them. "He was busy playing as a chef and would give Quinn something to eat." 

"Oh, that guy is adorable.." Henry and Alex nodded their heads to agree.
